At the October 13, 2021 City Commission agenda Commissioner Samuelian placed a referral to the Public Safety and Neighborhood Quality of Life Committee (PSNQLC - then known as the Neighborhood and Quality of Life Committee) to discuss the ability of the City’s residents to obtain up-to-date information regarding all pending criminal cases being prosecuted by the State Attorney’s Office. The intent was to have an opportunity to have a constructive conversation and secure recommendations that would permit such information to be provided to residents.

 

A Commission memorandum, dated October 31, 2021,  was prepared by the City Attorney’s Office, highlighting the significant undertaking to accomplish the initiative. A discussion was held at the March 7, 2022 Neighborhood and Quality of Life Committee meeting. The item was slated to return in June 2022 after discussion among the Marketing and Communications the Police Departments and the item sponsor regarding highlighting important cases. Following the passing of Commissioner Samuelian, the item was picked up by Mayor Meiner (then Commissioner Meiner). The item has not been reheard to date.
